It was published in Scribner’s Monthly from May to June. The story is one that deals with the encounter between the old and new world. James’s works often take the form of confrontation between American innocence and European evil, which is one of his major themes. In the battle between the old and new world, American innocence usually triumphs. In “Adina” as well, Sam Scrope, after swindling an Italian boy out of an ancient excavated topaz, loses his fianc?, Adina, an American girl. Although the Italian boy is deceived into letting go of his topaz, he succeeds in persuading Adina to marry him, which is his revenge for Scrope’s evil deed. At the end of the story, Sam Scrope throws his topaz into the Tiber. Thus, he loses both his fianc? and the ancient jewel. In this sense, “Adina” is one of the early examples of James’s grand theme: the old vs. the new world., 翻訳}, pages = {133--169}, title = {アディナ ヘンリー・ジェイムズ 著}, volume = {2}, year = {2010} }
